Re: Increased Oil Use Following Liqui Moly

Engine starts without blue smoke.
Based on my observations over the past 5-6 years, it is common for me to need to add 1-1.5 quarts of Mobil1 every 5-7k miles. It shocked me by consuming the Liqui Moly so rapidly after just 1,300 miles on the road.

Increased Oil Use Following Liqui Moly

Before heading down to Florida for the summer, I decided to switch from Mobil 1 0W-40, which I have always used in New England, to Liqui Moly 5w40, after hearing nothing but good things about it.

I just did my annual trip from Massachusetts to Florida and checked the oil level; according to the ...

Reduced AC refrigerant levels

This 1987 560sl has been in my possession for about two years. According to the previous owner, the air conditioner needed to be charged monthly. Over the past two years, the air conditioning has been gradually losing its effectiveness. Possibly R-12, though I can't be sure. A recharging kit is ...

Re: Fuse for Ignition Switch

One fuse for my compass mirror was located in the pass fuse panel. Compared to the American positive turn off, there aren't many based on the negative disconnect that these automobiles employ. I can find it if you need me to.

Re: Anyone heard or dealt with Allarris Express? Looking for honest feedback

honestly, I wouldn’t panic yet. Mine arrived one day later than expected as well because their transporter was delayed in Alabama. They kept me updated throughout though, once it arrived, everything was exactly as promised. Multi-vehicle transport schedules can get messy sometimes

Re: Anyone heard or dealt with Allarris Express? Looking for honest feedback

It was a wire transfer but through the segregated account they use before sending anything, I had my attorney look over the sales agreement everything checked out properly

Re: Anyone heard or dealt with Allarris Express? Looking for honest feedback

I actually went through Allarris Express back in September for a Chevy Nova that was sold by a seller near Miami. I was suspicious at first too because I’d never bought a vehicle remotely before. What reassured me was the way they handled the payment the funds weren’t sent directly to the seller ...
